Drawing config default_ansi_ord_dim_aligned greyed out

Creo 10.0.6

 

I'm trying to set Detail Option config default_ansi_ord_dim_aligned to no in a drawing but the OK and Apply are greyed out. Tried both in part and drawing with same OK/Apply greyed out result. Drawing and part are checked out. Config ord_dim_standard is set to std_ansi. I can change other config options and OK/Apply are available. Seems like something simple I'm overlooking.

I'm on 7.0.9.0, so I don't know about 10, but it's working for me.

I suggest trying to save a copy of the drawing detail file and add the option in it using notepad.

Then open that file for the drawing and see if the OK button works.

I'm on Creo 8.

I am not having issue with it after I hit add/change, the ok/apply button seem to activate

I check also on Creo + (aka Creo 12) and it is working fine too.

There were only one or two drawings that I had an issue with the config option being greyed out. Arnold's suggestion of importing a detail file with the option already set did prove to be a work around.

 

I used the Auto Ordinate dimension feature on sheet metal flat patterns for the first time on those drawings. I'm wondering if that is what caused the problem but I've not had a chance to test that theory.
